The World's Worst Keto Dieter – Since 2003

Food Additives

There is no one ‘keto diet’. It has many variants that appear more or less the same to the outsider but are very different to someone deep in the thick of it – like Protestantism. And like Protestantism, each of these variants interpret the same documents that underlie the practice, apply them differently, then follow,…

Day 1 – Tuesday, March 1, 2014 – 225.4 OK – maybe the last month was a ‘test’ – a baseline to see where my problem points were. It was also a month that saw a decade’s worth of work end for me as it was turned off, and a new system turned on. I…

And… I disagree with your logic.”] I am old enough to remember the 60s when crackpots were labeled as such because they thought water fluoridation was some sort of government conspiracy.

I’ve come to distrust almost all general health and nutrition advice – and the more emphatic the announcements the more I distrust them – and feel very on-my-own to…

Monday, March 17, 2014 – 225.8 6am Nice jump in the scale. I attribute it to a lot of bulk and water from yesterday’s meal, as well as less fat overall. I’m not concerned. I think I’ve shown my actual weight, minus the water I am retaining, is maybe 219. If the scale does not…
